Chapter 689 - 689 Child Falling From the Sky
689 Child Falling From the Sky
As the servants made way for them, Master Murong noticed Jiang Ming and the others. He smiled and waved his folding fan.
“Ning Caichen, you’re finally here.”
At this moment, Murong Kuan appeared in front of everyone.
However, he was limping. It looked rather funny.
“It’s all your fault! You crippled my leg!”
Murong Kuan looked aggrieved as he glared at Jiang Ming. He wished he could kill Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was a little confused.
He did not cripple Murong Kuan. How did Murong Kuan become crippled?
“Prince Liang, why are you here?”
Master Long was stunned for a moment and looked at Murong Kuan suspiciously.
However, Murong Kuan laughed, “I am a subordinate of Master Murong. My name is Murong Kuan!”
“Amazing. You were really good at acting like a royal. I thought you were an upstanding young man, but in the end, you’re just someone else’s p.a.w.n.”
Master Long was disgusted by his shamelessness and looked at Murong Kuan.
Jiang Ming knew, but he did not show any emotion. He looked at Murong Kuan coldly and said, “Murong Kuan, don’t lie. We didn’t do such a thing.”
Murong Kuan continued to be stubborn. “It was you who did it. Don’t deny it. Master Murong, you have to stand up for me. Ning Caichen’s att.i.tude is so bad. We can’t just let him be.”
Right at this moment, a fiery light rushed toward them. Master Murong’s face turned cold. He jumped up and caught the fiery light with one hand.
The fire was extinguished. Master Murong was holding a crying child in his arms.
What was going on?
It was so strange.
Jiang Ming looked thoughtfully at Master Murong. Master Murong was quite impressive to be able to get a child out of thin air.
Master Murong’s face darkened instantly. He walked to Jiang Ming and said, “Ning Caichen, you have to raise this child.”
Jiang Ming snorted. “Why?”
Murong Kuan had lied about him, and Master Murong was giving him a child. Wasn’t this ridiculous?
“You’re the one who attracted this child.”
Master Murong stared at Jiang Ming. His words were very obvious.
Zhu Asi found it funny and stepped forward to stop him. “Master Murong, what nonsense are you talking about? Why should Ning Caichen raise your child for you? This is clearly the child you brought in.”
Madman Senior could not help but laugh. “This is the first time I’ve seen something so funny. Was this child sent by the Fire G.o.d?”
Zhu An’an was curious. “This child fell from the sky. Who sent him?”
The child suddenly burst into tears. Master Murong’s face darkened even more. He kept waving his hands, trying to comfort the child.
As a result, the more Master Murong shook, the more the child cried.
Master Murong was annoyed and wanted to give the child to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming did not even raise his hand to take it. So, he let go of the child.
Seeing that the child was about to fall, Jiang Ming caught the child and was a little unhappy. “Master Murong, you have to take responsibility for the child you brought here. You can’t throw it to others.”
Master Murong was dumbfounded. “You brought this child here. The magnetic field around you is strong. It attracted this child here. This place is the center of the Demon Children’s a.s.sociation. If there are people with strong mana, the demons will throw their children onto the bodies of the people with strong mana.”
“How is it my fault that my mana is so strong?”
Jiang Ming looked innocent.
“This…”
Master Murong felt awkward. He scratched his head, “But the child is here, and it’s because of you. You should be the one responsible for it.”
“It’s all your fault. Don’t blame me for it.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and forced the child back into Master Murong’s hands.
Master Murong hugged the child tightly, feeling frustrated. “I already have a lot of children here; I can’t have another one. Here you go.”
As he spoke, he gave the child to Jiang Ming.
“How would I have time to take care of a child? What are you thinking?”
Jiang Ming handed the child back to Master Murong.
“I don’t have time either, okay? Can’t you see how busy I am?”
Master Murong was persistent and gave the child back to Jiang Ming.
Seeing the two of them arguing over the child, Zhu Asi and the others were dumbfounded. They did not expect that two people who were supposed to be mortal enemies would actually fight over a child.
Didn’t Master Murong issue a challenge to Ning Caichen?
Shouldn’t the two be fighting to the death right now?
Why would they fight over a child?
After fighting for a while, the child finally returned to Master Murong.
Master Murong suddenly thought of the letter of challenge. He looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Ning Caichen, I’ve issued a letter of challenge to you, but I hope that you can solve the problem of the child first.”
“Why should I solve this problem? You’re the one who has to solve it!” Jiang Ming said seriously.
He really regretted coming to Master Murong’s residence. He thought that he was here to fight with Master Murong, but now, he was here to be a makeshift nanny.
If he had known that there would be children falling from the sky here, he would never have come.
Zhu Asi also spoke up for Jiang Ming. “To be honest, you’re to blame, Master Murong, not us. So, it’s not our fault.”
Zhu An’an also added, “Indeed, it’s not a sin to have strong mana. Master Murong, you chose the wrong venue to have a fight.”
“That’s right. If you hadn’t chosen this venue, this child wouldn’t have come,” the princess added.
Although she did not want to get involved, she also felt that this matter was too bizarre.
Moreover, this child should be raised by Master Murong.
The others also spoke up for Jiang Ming.
Seeing so many people speaking up for Jiang Ming, Master Murong’s face turned red.
He had thought that he could push the child to Ning Caichen, but Ning Caichen had so many people standing up for him.
Moreover, they were people with very distinguished backgrounds. Those who did not know better would think that they were n.o.bles traveling together.
He originally wanted to fight Ning Caichen, but with so many people around, he could not do anything to him.
Putting everything else aside, just the Qingmiao Kingdom behind the princess was enough to make him suffer!
“Alright, do you guys want to come in and have some tea? I heard that Master Long likes to drink tea. He might be interested in my tea selection.”
Master Murong could not argue any further, so he handed the child to the servant beside him. He secretly poked Jiang Ming.
How annoying!
